This record does not describe the complete situation of
Jewish evangelism in Europe. It is based on the information currently available
to me. More details will follow in the report for the next international conference
of LCJE in August this year.

BULGARIA

Stanislav Alexiev is working with CWI in Rousse, Bulgaria.
He has made some good personal contacts with people from the Sofia Jewish
community. Every other week he travels to the capital and goes to the synagogue
on Shabbat. Stanislav meets three Jewish men regularly. They are old but willing
to listen to him.

DENMARK

The Danish Israel Mission (DIM) has a strong youth work,
with over 1000 members under the age of 30. That has made it possible in 2002
to send volunteers as far away as Thailand and Los Angeles. For the first
time they have sent a team to work among “Western Jews in the East”. The team
had a month’s training in Jerusalem at the Caspari Center, and thereafter
they worked among Israelis in Thailand and in Goa, India.

FRANCE

In Paris Stephen Pacht is directing the work of Jews for
Jesus in France. He lives with his family in Paris and is assisted by Delphine
and Joshua Turnil.

Even though she is retired, Francine Roulet (CWI) is still
working with Jean Paul Rempp, pastor of the “La Bonne Nouvelle Church"
in Lyon, to reach the Jews in this area with the gospel.

GERMANY

The year 2002 has seen different highlights in the work
among the Jewish people in Germany. In March about two hundred people took
part at the 5th National conference of Messianic Jews in Germany. The leading
issue of this conference was “to share the likeness of Jesus" (Rom 8,29).
On the second day 9 people were baptized. We can say that the number of messianic
believers in Germany is growing slowly but steadily.

In June about twenty believers met for a theolocial study
conference with Jeff Spivak, Jerusalem (now Aberdeen, Scotland). They heard
about and discussed the issue: Apocalyptics in Jewish history.

The work among young people is playing a more and more important
role. In August thirty-five young people from all over Germany attended the
Messianic Summer Camp 2002. They not only had a lot of fun together, they
also studied the Bible earnestly. In December sixteen youth leaders and coming
youth leaders had a training about spirtual leadership. They enjoyed their
time very much and there is hope that they will become more involved and more
in the practical work in the future.

On December 11 and 12 eleven people from different organizations,
all involved in Jewish evangelism, met under the umbrella of LCJE at Neukirchen,
in the geographical centre of Germany, to report about their actual ministries,
to pray together and to discuss how they can help each other more in the future.

Mischa Braker is still working
with the „Arbeitsgemeinschaft
für das messianische Zeugnis an Israel" (AMZI) in Hannover. He
is still serving a group of Jewish believers there and doing evangelism in
this city.

“Beit Sar Shalom Evangeliumsdienst" (BSSE), the German
branch of Chosen People Ministries (CPM), is currently working in Aachen,
Berlin, Bonn, Chemnitz, Düsseldorf, Heidelberg, Mönchengladbach, München and
Potsdam. Since the summer of 2002 Wladimir Pikman, its German director, has
been studying at the Theological Seminar in Dallas USA.

“Evangeliumsdienst für Israel" (EDI) has its ministry
mainly in Esslingen and Karlsruhe. Anatoli and his wife Irina are also responsible
for the youth work mentioned above. They are assisted in their ministry by
some volontary workers. Other volontary workers are working with EDI at Chemnitz,
Erlangen, Freiburg and Köln.

In Essen Yuliya Sokol is still working with “Jews for Jesus"
to reach the Jewish people of this city with the gospel.

Richard Tomlinson moved with his family from Frankfurt/Main
back to the UK and is now working with CWI on a regular basis in the area
of Bournemouth.

UNITED KINGDOM

After sixteen years of faithful and dedicated service, the
last ten of them as General Secretary, John Ross decided to return to the
pastoral ministry. He accepted the invitation of the the congregation of the
Greyfriars Free Church of Scotland at Inverness to serve as their pastor.
John has also been my predecessor as European coordinator of LCJE. The council
of CWI appointed Mike Moore as the new General Secretary. Mike has already
served the society for nineteen years as its communications officer.
